  sum
       
          1.  In domain theory, the sum A + B of two domains
          contains all elements of both domains, modified to indicate
          which part of the union they come from, plus a new bottom
          element.  There are two constructor functions associated with
          the sum:
       
          	inA : A -> A+B       inB : B -> A+B
          	inA(a) = (0,a)	     inB(b) = (1,b)
       
          and a disassembly operation:
       
          	case d of isA(x) -> E1; isB(x) -> E2
       
          This can be generalised to arbitrary numbers of domains.
       
          See also smash sum, disjoint union.
       
          2.  A Unix utility to calculate a 16-bit checksum of
          the data in a file.  It also displays the size of the file,
          either in kilobytes or in 512-byte blocks.  The checksum may
          differ on machines with 16-bit and 32-bit ints.
